- ### Council votes to consider legal action over anonymous videos

  September 23, 2025

  The legal response filed by Woodward and councillors Baillie and Rindt, as reported by the Langley Advance Times, says Council voted six to three in a closed meeting on September 23, 2025 to consider legal action and find out who was behind anonymous videos alleging corruption in the purchase of fire trucks. Woodward, Baillie and Rindt filed a libel suit; Baillie and Rindt later withdrew and Woodward's case continued. Woodward says he repaid the Township's legal costs with interest. None of the claims had been tested in court.
